Congratulations to Jeff Lowenstein of the Rotary Club of San Mateo for being selected as Rotary District 5150's Rotarian of the Month for December 2022!
 
Jeff Lowenstein has been an active member of the Rotary Club of San Mateo for 19 years. For all of those years, he has continuously served above and beyond self. One of his Club members perfectly summed up Jeff’s contributions: “He is the living example of a perfect Rotarian.” Before joining the Rotary Club of San Mateo, Jeff was a member of the Rotary Club of Cupertino for 7 years where he was also an exemplary Rotarian.
 
Jeff served his Club and Club Foundation as Treasurer for over 10 years, digitized his Club's historical documents and the financial documents of both his Club and his Club's Foundation, and continues to mentor and assist his successors in the role of Club Treasurer. Under Jeff's leadership, his Club transitioned to ClubRunner as its membership management and communication platform and created a plan to improve its audio/visual system. He also serves as Treasurer of his Club's affiliated entity that owns and operates two senior, low-income housing properties in San Mateo. Jeff served Rotary District 5150 as registrar of the 2020 and 2022 District Assemblies. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Jeff conceived and executed his Club's weekly virtual meetings.
 
Fundraising is one Jeff's passions. For over 15 years, he co-chaired the Club's scholarship fundraiser that netted approximately $45,000 to $50,000 annually. Jeff is the registrar for his Club’s annual Fun Run fundraiser. In the community, he chaired a crab feed fundraiser for many years for his sons’ elementary school.
 
Another passion is working with youth. Jeff has served as mentor to many students going through the Club’s scholarship process. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Jeff conceived and executed his Club's virtual scholarship interview and selection process so that scholarships to deserving students would not be interrupted. He was an active member of Men of St. Matthew, a men’s service club supporting St. Matthew Catholic Parish and School and of the Serra's Dads' Club, a men's service club supporting Junipero Serra High School. Jeff was a Cub Scout Leader in Pack 144 in San Mateo and scoutmaster in Boy Scout Troop 42 in San Mateo. 
 
Jeff is an operations professional by trade. He has generously lent the skills of his trade to the betterment of his Club, his Club’s foundation, his Club’s senior low-income housing projects, his community, and our District. Jeff Lowenstein of the Rotary Club of San Mateo is most deserving to be honored as District 5150’s Rotarian of the Month for December 2022!
